Get the basics for Entertaining at Home

If you have the basics like 6-12 dinner plates, serving dishes, platters, utensils, white linen tablecloth, and 12 napkins, glassware and flatware you are good to go. Tips: Select solid white dinnerware to begin with for your basic set. White will make every food item you place on your plates or platters beautiful. No competition with repeated or bold patterns. If white doesn’t suit your personality then select a color you love but make sure it is solid. Add splashes of mixed color in salad plates or bowls. But keep things simple to begin with.

Glassware is another standard you should have on hand, Select 12 at a time, etched glass or pure glass not the green tinted glass unless you are going for that themed effect. But for basics stick with clear glass. Goblets or Tom Collins glasses work well for basic inventory. These can break so make sure you have enough for your family plus a couple of extras incase of breakage.

So my advice in starting your inventory basics go with solid white round or square plates. Add interest with decorative salad plates, lacy edges or scrollwork on rims for decor.
